Brit shoots himself at Thai gun range

A TRAGIC Brit shot himself dead at a Thai gun range in an apparent copycat
suicide.

Ex-pat Andy Davis died shortly after hiring a weapon and bullets at the range
in popular holiday resort Pattaya.

Witnesses said the 43-year-old fired 15 shots into the target before turning
the .357 Magnum revolver on himself. The horror came five months after
another man ended his life in the same way at a local gun range.

“Andy was knocking back drinks and we were all talking about our old haunts.
He was so happy and on brilliant form. Nobody had any idea what was about to
happen a few hours later.”

Andy quit the UK nearly four years ago after splitting from wife Karen — mum
of his two children.

Writing on a tribute site, one friend said: “A top bloke and a good friend you
will be missed mate.” A woman calling herself Mum wrote: “Good nite. God
bless. You’re very wrong to have taken your own life.”

Cops are investigating but so far have no motive for the shooting.

The Foreign Office said: “We are providing consular assistance to the family.”
